Mastodon returns to the road this spring

It’s been a nice year for Mastodon. The band’s fourth LP,Crack the Skye, received oodles of great reviews from music sources all over the globe, including the one that matters most. They broke just about every “Top __” list for best albums of 2009 (including you know whose), and to top it all off, fans packed the house at each and every one of their tour stops. So what now? Some more touring across America sounds good — at least to the band.

On April 16th, Mastodon hits the road again, this time with Between The Buried And Me, Baroness, and Valient Thorr. To throw a curve ball into the mix, they will have a special “tour-only” vinyl version of Crack the Skye available in each city. And in doing their part for April 17th’s National Record Store Day, Mastodon will release special vinyl editions of their previous and still awesome LP, Blood Mountain, complete with new artwork from Paul Romano.
